We get it. It’s hard to get excited about choosing a new garage door. For starters, how do you even begin? Fortunately, you no longer have to walk blindly into a showroom or spend hours researching the hundreds of different options available. Here’s how to choose your new garage door the fun way—using WD Door’s “Build Your Door!” tool.
Choose Your Material
WD Door offers four different residential garage door materials. Before you start designing your garage door, you’ll want to read about each one to decide which material is best for you. Each material comes in a variety of styles. First, select your material on WD Door’s website, and then you can move on to the next step.
Choose Your Style
After you’ve decided which material you’d like for your new garage door, it's time to choose the model that will work best for you. It’s easy to change your selection, so check out a few models to get a feel for what you'd like. Once you've selected a model, you’ll have the option of proceeding with WD Door's "Build Your Door!" tool. After you've reviewed the details of your model, scroll down to the "Design" option of the "Build Your Door!" feature. Depending on your model, you'll have several different styles available. Pick one that you'd like to use and move on to the next step!
Choose Your Color or Finish
Now that you have the basic style of your door, it’s time to choose its color or finish. For non-wooden doors (steel, aluminum, fiberglass), you’ll have the option to choose a color for your door. These doors can also typically be custom painted to match your home’s exterior. For wooden doors, you have the opportunity to choose the type of wood used for your door. Click “next” to move on to the next phase of your design.
Choose Your Windows (If Applicable)
If the style you’ve chosen comes with windows, you will have a few different window styles and layouts to choose from. In the next step, you can choose the type of glass you’ll use for your window cut-outs.
Choose Your Glass
